    M6950DT difficult to start

    Third morning to attempt a start - it's about 65 degrees and I've left the fuel cap loose. I lifted the side panel and manually operated the fuel pump - and got a normal start, maybe turned over twice and idled. Today when I finished work I also loosened the fuel cap and will repeat the...
